Although he was on a hill and William's horses couldn't get through the marsh, Hastings took place down south of England, and Harold had just fought harald hadrada and the vikings in the north, and he had to march his men down south. Another reason is William tricked Harald by pretending to run away, Harold's army would chase them, and they turned around and slaughtered them. This happened twice with equal success!!!
